She has one arm in her coat. Thick, wavy brown hair pulled back into a low ponytail. Aviator shades on, one strand of hair curling down and around one arm of the glasses. Her shirt is white with flowers and doughnuts on it. She has a lighter weight button down on over that. A chunky…

Leather Bucket Hats
I never knew there were such a thing as leather bucket hats, but there are and this man on the train is wearing one. It looks a tad small for his head, but matches his leather jacket well enough that it is not weird. He is asleep, arms crossed over his chest and around a…
Too Cool, But Not Really
He walks on the train, goes straight to the door to the next car, grabs the bar over my head and plants one foot on the door, leaning back on the door in a smooth, practiced move. He has black shiny dress shoes, black pants, and a knee length brown coat. He looks super badass…
Yo! Two glasses of wine!
Yo! Two glasses of wine! I know I am not a karaoke star and that this is not a movie. Stop trying to convince me that the music piping in through my Beats is surround sound to my own personal music video. I will not dance around this subway car to Taylor Swift! I know…
Welcome to Earth! No One Cares.
There is a man yelling in the middle of the train. I believe he is speaking Spanish, but I have my headphones on and only know that I don’t recognize the words he is spouting during the lulls between songs. He has been going strong since we left the 145 street station and we are…
Something I wrote in the back of a Book
Sometimes when I am reading, I will see something or think of something I want to remember so I will write it down in a book, forget about it and then find it months or years later. This is a subway post I wrote in the back of The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories…
Apathetic Couple
She had on her tight shiny pleather pants and he sat next to her in his badass black leather jacket. Her boots were ankle cut and her knees looked round in the almost painted on pants. His hands are in his lap holding his phone and he has a grey hoodie on underneath, his jacket’s…
Swallowing Down Her Pain
She looks like she is swallowing down her pain one sour and bitter mouthful at a time, her eyes downcast, holding her red (p)leather purse with black polka dots tightly. Her left hand is wrapped around the handle and her right is curled under the bottom, securing it in her lap. Her coat is a…
Pale Eyes
Pale eyes, dark hair, but the curls that are peeking out from under his backwards baseball cap are bleached blond. He is wearing Skeleton fingerless gloves and his nails are painted black. He has a lip piercing and one in his right eyebrow. He is smirking at his phone, but he is really laughing at…
Hockey Player and the French Person
His gear bag is bigger than him and quite possibly might weigh more than him. He could fit inside the gear bag easily. He holds a hockey stick in his left hand, the blade up in the air. Navy blue, windbreaker exercise pants with three red stripes on the outside of each leg. Light brown…
